Ok tank specs first -
30W light
Aquaclear Mini filter
CO2 injection in bell and intake of filter
no current nutrient supplementation but did use flourish and flourish iron
and KNO3

Ok I have a major algae outbreak ! This stuff is liek lokng and green and
stringy like a spiders web and grows at a phenonemal rate ! Tested my water
parameters.. nothing out of whack.. so what gives ? Whats my best course of
action ? remove as much as I can, do a large water cahnge and start dosing
nutrients to try and get the plants to outrun it ?  I haev 1 black molly in
there at th emoment but it hasnt seemed to made and impression

Thanks
Jon
